I'm checking to see if we're able to get a loan on a manufactured home, but generally I would look to get into a syndication (tax advantages, etc.) or private capital fund (10-15%) which is where I'm seeing we may be leaving quite a bit on the table.

I don't love the idea of giving up my sub 3% mortgage rate and paying more to borrow money, but sitting on that equity and not putting it to work makes me feel I'm leaving a lot of growth on the table.

You can make an extra several grand a year....don't leave that $$ on the table.

I would say as a GP, technology has been super helpful in managing our cap table and issuance of distributions along with making it a lot easier to streamline the process of investor signing documents and sending $.

The other option of selling the house and investing the tax free gains is also on the table.

Having a strong boots on the ground team in the area can help bring good deals to the table, filter deals better, determine viability quickly (which in a market as competitive as this is very necessary), and ultimately get the right deals done.

Now do you have a table of comparison of property appreciation in those 3 states for last 5 yrs and 10 yrs? 

I’m a little bit further north of you in the White Mountains region but am looking to expand my network and possibly my area for investments.

He is seasoned agent but with no rehabbing experience but wants to learn and help and will bring cash to the table for the deal.

What are they bringing to the table that you cant get more cheaply or for free?
